Disk Space Allocation
Hi,

I have installed RHEL6 on a HP Dl360 with 2 x 300G disk drives.

The logical volume (SMART ARRY) uses RAID 0+1.

All file systems occupy a max of 50G in disk space leaving 250G free disk space. A possible 100G will get used for the application later.

My question is, will creating a large vg of 300G (minus 512M for /boot) have a performance impact or any other disadvantage given that the majority of the vg will be made up of free extents?

R,
D.

I don't expect so. The arrangement of disk blocks to disk location isn't necessarily linear anyway.
